Climate in Provo: timing your vinyl siding job

We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Provo Byu (in the city). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.

February through June and September through November are the stretches where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Provo (8 of 12 months). January and December have an average daytime high under 45°F; July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.

In January and December the average high stays below 45°F. Sealants, adhesives and some materials, such as vinyl, are harder to install well in the cold, and short daylight cuts the working day.

Provo gets about 17 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 45 inches of snow. The wettest months are January, April and May (2.0 inches in May). Inside the workable window, June and September are the driest, at 0.9 and 1.2 inches. The station averages about 74 days a year at 90°F or above.

Does the season change the price? Probably, but we do not have a sourced seasonal price curve, so the estimator shows a year-round figure and does not adjust by month. When you collect quotes, ask whether scheduling in a slower month gets a better rate.

Why two Provo quotes can differ

• Old siding removal

  Taking the old siding off costs $0.70-$2.00 per sq ft. Check that disposal is included.

• Labor and season

  Siding labor is $40-$80 an hour or $2-$6 per sq ft, and it is highest in warm months.

• Wall area is not floor area

  A 2,000 sq ft house usually has more wall area than floor area once you count gables and two stories. Measure the wall, not the floor.

Provo labor market for vinyl siding

Wages are the part of this estimate that changes most from town to town. 3 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Provo is 0.93 times the national level.

For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $25.59 an hour, which is 12% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.92 and $29.39 an hour. BLS counts 3,080 of them working in the area, 101.1 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is deeper than average.

Construction laborers (47-2061), 30% of the weighting: a median of $22.43 an hour, in line with the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $18.25 and $25.27 an hour. About 4,760 work in the metro. That is 156.2 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.

For sheet metal workers (47-2211, weighted 10%) the local median is $30.45 an hour, which is in line with the national $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $26.56 and $37.81 an hour. BLS counts 250 of them working in the area, 8.2 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 7.7), so the local bench is about average.

Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($29.39 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $660. At the 25th percentile ($21.92) it shrinks by about $640. The total moves by 4.1% or 4.0%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.

For context on the local economy, BLS counts 304,660 jobs in the Provo-Orem-Lehi area. That makes it the 84th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.20% of US employment.
